"They've (Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar) created a legacy for this organization and a standard to try to move forward and uphold. They've turned this organization into a model of consistency. It's been a great run. It's all attributed to them. But not only did the fortunes of the Kansas City Royals turn around, but the fan base has been wrapped up in this team for years and years with these kids. It's really kind of transformed the city a little bit too and energized the city in a small part. Their presence here as effected this city in a pretty big way." - Kansas City Royals Manager Ned Yost in USA Today (10/01/2017, Royals' pending free agents make emotional exit together, Source)
